Get a grip

While it would be unfair to compare it to the major works, like “Rocky” or “Rambo: First Blood,” Sylvester Stallone’s little-known 1987 action romp “Over the Top” remains Hollywood’s most deﬁnitive take on the subject of arm wrestling. And, while guests at the 6th Annual Arm Wrestling Championships at Lincoln City’s Chinook Winds Casino Resort this Saturday are unlikely to ﬁnd personal redemption through the sport to the degree that Stallone’s character, Lincoln Hawk, does in the movie, they are still in line for a great show. Brought to the coast by National Arm Wrestling Promotions, the event showcases the best arm wrestlers from all over the United States. Admission is free for people of all ages and the contest is open to anyone who thinks they can arm wrestle, with an amateur class for beginners and an open class with cash prizes awarded for men’s and women’s divisions. If you think you’re too old, think again. There is a masters’ division for those 40 and older. The event will kick off with a six-man round robin left-hander contest, featuring six of the best left-handed arm wrestlers from around the country.

National Arm Wrestling Promotions was founded by six-time World Arm Wrestling Champion Bill Collins, an arm wrestling promoter with more than 25 years’ experience. To register or learn more about the event, go to www. napsport.com or call Collins at 209-704-0564. Doors open at noon on

Saturday, March 28, with competition beginning at 1 pm. The first 75 contest entrants will receive a free T-shirt. The entry fee is $30 for the open division and $25 for the amateur or masters’ divisions. Chinook Winds Casino Resort is located at 1777 NW 44th Street.

one man’s beach C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y M A T T L O V E

Under the inﬂuence of Yachats I

am sitting on a spacious deck of a ﬁne older home in Yachats. Sonny the husky is resting near me. I’m in town to deliver a presentation called “One Writer’s Muse: The Oregon Coast.” Here is what I see from the deck: various humans and dogs meandering on the beach; a man drinking a Hamm’s and smoking a cigarette walking past me; western gulls doing whatever they do overhead; the ocean’s waves curling mushy and white; the estuary circling and shimmering; a river ﬁnding the sea; a lone stratus cloud dissipating into the Coast Range; a Sitka spruce growing at a beautiful 60-degree angle. What a glorious place Yachats is. It may feel small as a locale, but the highly concentrated variety of vistas here is hugely astonishing to behold. What follows are the mediations from my mind under the influence of Yachats. I will write whatever comes to me. Good decks overlooking the ocean enable this with ease and alacrity. This is probably my last literary adventure with Sonny — 600 or so gigs all across Oregon since I launched the book publishing in 2002. Six hundred! I can’t believe our run is almost over. I wonder if my writing will change after she dies? Rain simply disappeared on the Oregon Coast this winter. That does not portend well. On that note, I think my writing

about rain has finally come to an end. It was also a great run. I saw a coyote on a beach near Waldport this morning, a very large one. It scampered up a driftlog, stopped, looked directly at me from 75 feet away, then bolted into a grove of shore pines. I waited and waited and waited — nothing. I divined no message from the encounter, unlike an incident in 2008 when a coyote appeared on a beach as an emissary of peace and suggested I release my anger toward those responsible for desecrating the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge. It was perhaps the most extraordinary single moment my life. No message from the coyote this time, although I desperately wanted one, to learn something crucial that was previously unimaginable before the encounter. Don’t we all want to receive such an unimaginable message? They don’t come in bottles washed ashore, I assure you. Yesterday, at midnight, I saw a person walking on the beach in Yachats. I was doing some walking myself, around town, trying to defeat insomnia, when I caught a glimpse of a figure at the ocean’s edge, on a low tide. There was zero moonlight for illumination and I can’t believe the person could see more than a couple feet in any direction. Perhaps this blackness is exactly

what this person sought, craved. Perhaps a light finally switched on. There are a million compelling stories at the ocean. Are you paying attention to them? Are you living an interesting one yourself that somehow connects to the Pacific? It always baffles me when I meet coastal people who evince absolutely no interest in the beach. Sometimes I think these people fear visiting the beach: heaven forbid they might unintentionally

reflect on their lives. Some people simply can’t handle that test. Forgive them Mother Ocean, they know not what they miss. Matt Love is the author/editor of 12 books about Oregon, including “Of Walking In Rain,” his account of one of the rainiest winters in Oregon history. They are available at coastal bookstores and through www.nestuccaspitpress.com.

A demo that could rub off on you Clay class at Hoffman Newport’s Bruce Koike will perform a demonstration of the ancient Japanese ﬁsh-printing technique of Gyotaku at the Paciﬁc Maritime & Heritage Center on Sunday, March 29. Koike will share the history of the art form, its techniques and the materials involved as well as

Bruce

leading a tour through the center’s exhibit, which features work from five gyotaku artists. Having grown up in San Diego, Koike has always had fish and fishing in his life. His passion for the ocean brought him to the Oregon State University Hatfield Marine Science Center in the mid 1980s to earn a master’s degree in Fisheries Science. It was during this time that Koike first tried his hand at gyotaku. After his graduation, he

worked at the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans. Koike obtains specimens from his public aquarium colleagues, research scientists, Asian fish markets, commercial fishers, recreational anglers and has, on occasion, been successful at catching a specimen or two himself. He has printed more than 150 different species of aquatic animals including fish, seaweed, crab, clam, octopus and squid. The gyotaku exhibit runs through September 6, and

features works by Koike, Leighton Blackwell, John Buchanan, Heather J Fortner and Marion Moir. Many of the pieces are available for purchase with proceeds beneﬁting the center. Koike’s tour and demonstration will run from 4:30 to 6 pm at 333 SW Bay Blvd. Admission is free for center members and $5 for nonmembers. Refreshments will be served. For more information, call 541-265-7509.

An Introduction to Ceramics class will be on oﬀer at Manzanita’s Hoﬀman Center on Friday, April 17, giving students the chance to learn the basics of clay art. Led by Kathleen Ryan, the class will cover principles such as slab building, how to shape and join clay and how to create textures. Students will receive an introduction to the studio’s equipment and there

will be plenty of hands-on practice time. The class will run from 1 to 4 pm and costs $30, which includes three pounds of clay and three hours of instruction, plus use of all tools, kiln ﬁring and glazing. The cost for follow-up work time at the studio is $2 per hour. Students should sign up by emailing the instructor at hoﬀmanclaystudio@gmail.com

Round up some friends and go The perils of pesticide use in Oregon’s forests are the topic of a community meeting set for Wednesday, April 1, at the Yachats Commons. Entitled “Legal Poisoning,” the 90-minute presentation and Q&A will be led by Kai Huschke, northwest organizer of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund.

“Every year in Oregon, including here in Lincoln County, millions of pounds of toxic chemicals are sprayed on our forests despite of the impacts to the health and quality of life for people and ecosystems,” Huschke said. “Come learn why this is legal, how the state protects the rights of corporations over those of people and nature, and

most importantly, how communities in Oregon and other states are changing the rules of the game.” The talk will begin at 6:30 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. Admission is free but donations are gladly accepted. For more information, call 541-9616385 or email mkrausster@gmail.com.

Former Siuslaw National Forest Supervisor Jim Furnish will be the guest speaker at the Yachats Academy of Arts and Science on Friday, April 3, giving a presentation entitled “Toward a Natural Forest.” Furnish spent 34 years working with the US Forest Service and was the supervisor of the Siuslaw National Forest during some of its most tumultuous times. During his tenure, the forest service was changing its focus from timber harvest to recreation and protecting wild areas. In addition, there was a major change in the agency to encourage and promote

women into positions of leadership. Furnish’s presentation takes its name from his recently memoirs. Preceding his talk, there will be a Yachats premier of the video, “Seeing the Forest.” There will be some selected readings from Furnish’s book, with ample time for questions and answers. The presentation, which starts at the later-thanusual time of 7:30 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N., is open to all, with a $5 donation suggested. For more Information, go to yachatsacademy.com or call 541-961-6695.

Angling for some free fun?

No jacket? No problem. Swimming, wading or just sitting on the dock and fishing at Devils Lake just got a little easier thanks to the installation of a new life jacket loaner station at Lincoln City’s Regatta Park. Stocked with life jackets of all sizes, the station also provides details in English and Spanish on the proper fitting of life jackets as well as a reminder that children 12 and under must wear the flotation devices at all times while boating. The station was

spearheaded by Devils Lake Water Improvement District Board Member Randy Weldon and developed in partnership with the Oregon State Marine Board, Oregon Corrections Enterprises and Lincoln City’s Park and Recreation Department. “When in and around the water, safety is priority one,” said Lake Manager Paul Robertson, “and this new station provides the greatest single tool to prevent accidental drowning directly to the public.”

Easy? It’s a walk in the park The Yachats-based Coastal Gems Volkswalkers are heading south for the spring — for a stroll around Jessie M. Honeyman State Park near Florence. The Tuesday, March 31, walk will take participants to the park’s two freshwater lakes, Woahink and Cleawox. The 10K walk is rated 1a with good footing all the way and a 5K option is rated a 1a for ﬂat solid surfaces. The group will meet at 8:55 am at the Yachats Commons to

carpool to Florence. Walkers can also sign up in Florence at 9:45 am at the Sportsman store, 249 Hwy. 101. The group walks in any weather, so come prepared. Leashed pets are welcome, providing owners bring water, cleanup materials and a 6-foot leash. For more information, call Gene and Linda Williamson in Seal Rock at 541-563-6721, Maryann Brown in Waldport at 541-961-4279 or go to www. yachatscoastalgems.org.

The odds of budding young anglers making their first catch look good this Saturday, March 28, when the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will release 6,500 rainbow trout into Lincoln City’s Devils Lake for a free Family Fishing Event. Of those, some 2,000 fish will be released in a large net pen reserved for youths. ODFW staff and volunteers will be on hand to provide equipment and to teach youngsters how to bait, cast and reel in their catch. Meanwhile, adults can get tips on basic rigging, fish identification and casting. The event, which will run from 9 am to 2 pm at Regatta Park, is the first of dozens of family fishing days that will be held throughout the state this year. “This will be our second annual event at Devils Lake,” said Christine Clapp, fish biologist in Newport. “It’s still a relatively small event compared to some others, so it’s a great opportunity to get your kids out fishing without the lines that form at some of our other events.” Licenses are required for anyone over the age of 13, and are not available at the events. Juvenile licenses cost $9 and are available at ODFW’s license outlets including BiMart in Lincoln City, or online at www.dfw.state.or.us.

Be part of the solution On Saturday, March 28, the SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup will again see thousands of Oregonians take ownership of their public beaches by scouring the sands for wayward litter and debris washed in from winter storms. SOLVE Program Coordinator Joy Irby said a recent study published in the journal Science indicates that about 8 million metric tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year, having a large impact on the Oregon Coast. “Because plastic debris does not biodegrade, but instead breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, it continues to be a major threat not only

to Oregon’s wildlife, but also the health of our communities,” she said. “Each year thousands of marine mammals, turtles and ﬁsh are killed after they ingest or become entangled in plastic garbage and other types of litter.” At last year’s cleanup, more than 4,800 volunteers removed nearly 50,000 pounds of debris from the coast, contributing to the 3.2 million pounds that have been picked up since the ﬁrst coast-wide cleanup in 1984. Volunteers at this year’s event are encouraged to bring old colanders or kitty litter scoops to sift the tide lines for tiny plastic pieces, harmful to local

wildlife. Bags and gloves are provided, but bringing reusable gloves and buckets is encouraged to reduce the amount of plastic waste. Safety is the top priority, and volunteers are urged to keep an eye out for sneaker waves, stay oﬀ logs near the water, steer clear of sea lions, look out for signs and ropes limiting beach access around snowy plover nesting areas and refrain from touching hazardous items like oil drums. The cleanup will run from 10 am to 1 pm, with groups setting out from 45 rallying points along the coast. To register, go to solveoregon.org or call 503-844-9571 x332.

Newport’s sea lion actors quit barking and bite back at bosses By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

The Newport Bayfront is normally a bustling place, alive with the noise of fishprocessing plants, chattering visitors and, rising above it all, the unmistakable bark of the bay’s resident sea lions. But on the morning of Wednesday, April 1, those barks will fall silent as Newport’s sea lions go out on strike. “We’ve tried to play nice and work this out through negotiation,” said Chandler Davis, from beneath his neoprene sea lion suit, “but the management is forcing our hand — or our flipper if you will.” Davis is one of the many skilled “sea lion interpreters” who play the part of the popular pinnipeds on the floating docks opposite Port Dock One restaurant — doing

a spot-on imitation of the rowdy beasts as they wrestle for the sunniest spots. For until now, it has been a well-kept secret that real sea lions have not frequented Newport’s Yaquina Bay for almost four years. Jim Rice, a marine mammal expert with Oregon State University, said the sea lions’ abrupt disappearance in 2011 has been largely attributed to the arrival of the Paciﬁc Fleet of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “You might not think it to look at their tiny ears,” he said, “but sea lions are actually very sensitive to noise. It’s quite conceivable that the noise from those big ships could have prompted the local population to pack up and head somewhere quieter. I’m surprised they didn’t turn up in Depoe Bay to be honest.”

Once the sea lions stopped putting on their daily show at the docks, it did not take long for local businesses to start feeling the pinch. The business community soon hit upon a solution: create a sea lion interpreter program that would not only make people think the sea lions were still around but also create jobs for local high school students as well as out-of-work ﬁshermen and musicians. The task of carrying oﬀ the ruse fell to the newly formed Newport Sea Lion Docks Foundation, which quickly discovered that turning

deckhands into convincing sea lions was no easy feat. Fortunately, the coast’s artistic community rallied ’round to lend their talents to the cause. Newport-based puppeteer, Cyn Wilkes put the skills she learned during her time with the Jim Henson Creature Shop to use creating the sea lion costumes, using surplus marine survival suits as a starting point. “Spray paint it dark brown and you’re halfway there,” she said. “After that, you’re adding ears, whiskers and a couple of levers so they can move their

flippers from the inside. I actually modeled those on the controls for Gonzo’s nose.” Toledo artist Becky Miller, an expert in capturing the slick look of kelp in her oil paintings, was happy to lend a hand in recreating the shiny pelts of the slick creatures. “I used quite a few different oil paints to get the color perfect,” she said. “But the real finishing touch was a good dose of cod liver oil, which gave a protective coat and added a very authentic smell.” Newport theatrical troupe The Porthole Players were on hand to mentor the recruits in how to move like a sea lion and, crucially, how to master the allimportant bark. “It was all about immersing themselves in the role,” Porthole choreographer Vickie Steen said. “We took countless trips to the aquarium and I put them on a strict TV diet of David Attenborough’s documentary series ‘The Blue Planet.’ I think they can recite the whole series from memory to this day.” The program launched to great success in 2012, and all was ticking along smoothly

until earlier this year, when the foundation installed new and improved sea lion docks. That, combined with an unseasonably sunny winter, led to a huge spike in visitor numbers. “The increase in spectators has made the job a lot more intense,” said Davis, who puts in a few sea lion shifts each week to supplement his income as a freelance musician. “There used to be a lull in the mid afternoon where we could get a bit of a break and even unzip our suits a little on a hot day. But now, it’s a constant flow of people — and they want us barking and fighting the whole time.” Davis said that, in addition to an increased wage, he and his fellow sea lions are looking for more official breaks throughout the day and some kind of catered meal to be provided on site for lions doing shifts of six hours or more. “I swear we burn through about a thousand calories continued on page 11

an hour, what with the heat of the suits and all the wriggling and barking,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having to run down to Moâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a cup of chowder in sweat-drenched clothes is embarrassing. And climbing back into a cold, clammy sea lion suit afterward puts us at risk of pneumonia if you ask me. How are we supposed to be able to bark then?â&#x20AC;? Stan Pickens, president of the foundation board and one

of the driving forces behind the installation of the new docks, said the sea lions donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a leg to stand on. He said the job is a great entry-level position that pays the same as many retail positions without the hassle of having to talk to customers. He added that the sea lions should have no need for meal breaks because visitors are constantly showering them with treats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just the other day, I saw a family with two delightful

little girls who stood here for a good half hour feeding one sea lion the best part of a bag of caramel corn,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now you tell me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what other job allows you to get paid for lying in the sun and gobbling up caramel corn all day?â&#x20AC;? The conďŹ&#x201A;ict will come to a head at 10 am on Wednesday, April 1, when the picketing interpreters will unzip their sea lion suits and waddle oďŹ&#x20AC; the job site to conduct a silent protest.

Enjoy great food and unbeatable views at the Fish Peddler in Bay City By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

From Mount NeahKahNie to Cascade Head to Cape Perpetua, the Central Oregon Coast has no shortage of majestic headlands that travelers can use to mark their progress. And no less of a landmark for anyone taking Highway 101 along the coast is the tremendous oyster shell mountain that signals their arrival in Bay City, home of the Fish Peddler restaurant. For years, the shell mountain has served as a sign that delicious meals are close at hand, whether it be the restaurant’s signature oysters or something from its range of fresh ﬁsh and crab options. And, as well as providing a tasty meal for seagulls and other birds, the shells are also a very visible symbol of the company’s commitment to sustainability. The Fish Peddler is run by Paciﬁc Seafood, a family-owned company that controls every step of each oyster’s journey from beds along the West Coast all the way to the kitchen and, ultimately, the plate. And the contents of Shell Mountain are on their way to being recycled into homes for new oysters. Retail Manager Erin Whitney said the best shells are replanted in the

company’s oyster beds and re-seeded in order to ensure a steady supply of oysters for years to come. “As long as the oyster ground is maintained,” she said, “we will be able to use the same oyster grounds for years and years.” And the Fish Peddler is the perfect place to enjoy that sustainable bounty, with an unbeatable location on the Bay City pier. “We are essentially in the middle of Tillamook Bay,” Whitney said. “There’s nothing on either side of us and we have a great view across to the other side of the bay.” At first, retail began with a small soup bar and grew into the fullservice restaurant and gift shop that visitors see today. Large interior windows allow guests to see every stage of the oyster processing operation, including the line of shuckers opening each oyster in what the company calls “the oldfashioned way — by hand with brute force, leverage and a little finesse.” The oyster occupies pride of place on the Fish Peddler menu, with specialties including the Five Rivers Baked Oysters, named for the five main tributaries to Tillamook Bay — the Kilchis, Wilson, Trask, Miami and Tillamook rivers. While the Oysters Kilchis comes

prepared with pesto, Parmesan and hot sauce; the Oysters Wilson is served with blue cheese, herbed garlic butter and breadcrumbs. The Oysters Trask come in a simple herbed butter sauce, while the Oysters Miami offers barbecue sauce and red onion. But probably the most popular of all, the Oysters Tillamook sees the mighty mollusks served with bacon, red onion and shredded sharp cheddar from the Tillamook Cheese Factory just down the road. Oysters are also available raw on the half shell by the dozen and half dozen, as well in shooter form. Year-round availability makes oysters perfect as a signature ingredient for the restaurant. Meanwhile, the company’s wide reach, with facilities all along the West Coast, helps even out bumps in the supply of other seafood favorites. “Astoria provides us with a lot of the fish,” Whitney said, “Westport provides a lot of the crab.” Despite this year’s disappointing crab season, the restaurant is still able to offer its Crab and Shrimp Louie and its Dungeness Crab and Shrimp Cakes. Counter staff will even package up whole crab to take away on request. These strong supply lines have led to a fairly stable menu over the

years but there are a few new items to look out for this spring, including sautéed prawns, a shrimp burger and a grilled ﬁsh burger — usually made with fresh steelhead. And, on April 1, the start of shrimp season will mean a dream come true for fans of the Fish Peddler’s Shrimp Po’boy, Shrimp Louie and various dinner salads — not to mention the popular graband-go shrimp cocktails available at the front counter. Shrimp season is an even bigger deal for the Fish Peddler’s sister restaurant in Newport. The Fish Peddler Market at Paciﬁc Shrimp, located on Newport’s Historic Bayfront, is to shrimp what the Bay City facility is to oysters.

Boasting a large retail area and a smaller restaurant, it oﬀers a wide range of seafood, with the little pink crustaceans ﬁrmly at front and center. And, from April 1 through Oct. 31, visitors will be able to see the shrimp pickers at work, matching their Bay City counterparts for speed and skill as they prepare the bounty one piece at a time. But don’t hold your breath for a shrimp mountain anytime soon. The Fish Peddler restaurant serves lunch and dinner, 10 am to 7 pm every day on the pier in Bay City. You can watch the shuckers at work from 8 am to 3 pm most weekdays. For more details, call 503-377-2323.

Copper artist to shine Copper and wood artist Lanie Shimer is the star of the latest Spotlight Show, running from Saturday, March 28, through Friday, April 10, at Newportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yaquina Arts Association Gallery. Shimer searches the beaches for distinct sculpted driftwood shapes and adds copper to create unique art pieces. She loves combining diďŹ&#x20AC;erent mediums to enhance what she sees in each piece, adding glass, copper, mirrors, pendants, marbles and wire to make one-of-a-kind images. The show is available to view from 11 am to 4 pm daily at 789 NW Beach Drive on the Nye Beach Turnaround.

On brands like: Nike, Rockport, Leviâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Columbia Sportswear, LOFT, Chicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Old Navy, Eddie Bauer, Hollister, Gap, Coach, Under Armour, and much more.

Guild to welcome Shumway Corvallis painter William E. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Billâ&#x20AC;? Shumway will be the guest speaker at the Thursday, April 2, lunch meeting of the Coastal Arts Guild in Newport. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, Shumway set his sights on becoming a painter at the age of eight, when he felt transformed upon seeing a large luminist painting by Albert Bierstadt on a class trip to Mount Holyoke College Museum. He arrived in Corvallis from the East Coast in 1976 and, from 1981 until 2014, he was with Pegasus Frame Studio & Gallery, ďŹ rst as an archival picture framer and curator and later as owner. Last year, he turned the gallery over to his daughter, also a painter, and retired to his backyard studio, where he

continues to paint. Shumwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art is currently being shown at the Pegasus Gallery, the Linn-Benton Community College Art Gallery and the Giustina Gallery at Oregon State University. His artistic style is rooted in abstract expressionism; and he has also turned to portraiture and landscape painting, often using interference pigments to add luminosity to his work. At the April 2 event, Shumway will show some of the paintings from his ongoing portrait series of people who shared their creative wisdom â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a series he views as an act of gratitude and appreciation for their gift of a life in the arts. The lunch will run from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center,

Ready to parrrrr-ty? Treasure hunters of all ages are invited to don their best buccaneering garb for a piratical party and performance on Friday, March 27, at the Newport Performing Arts Center. The National Theatre Live in HD’s production of “Treasure Island” brings new life to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of murder, mutiny and loot. The stage adaptation, written by Bryony Lavery, begins on a dark, stormy night. Jim, the innkeeper’s granddaughter, opens the door to a terrifying stranger. At the old sailor’s feet sits a huge sea chest, full of secrets. Jim invites him in — and her dangerous voyage begins. The action will play out on the big screen as part of the National Theatre Live initiative to broadcast live performances around the world. The screening, presented by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts and hosted locally by Sarah Gayle and Wayne Plourde, will begin at 7 pm at the center, 777 W. Olive Street. Before the show, Gayle and Plourde will be hosting a Pirate Party in the lobby, starting at 6 pm. Costumes are highly encouraged and guests can expect to see some local pirates, watch a sword fight demo from members of Palladine Studios and hunt treasure of their own — including a $50 gift certificate to SolaLuna Studios and Gallery in Toledo. Themed appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages will be available along with a wine service from Joseph Swafford, former owner of the Champagne Patio. Tickets, $15.50 for adults, $12.50 for seniors and $10.50 for students, are available online at www.coastarts.org, at the center box office or by calling 541-265-ARTS (2787).

Don’t miss the “Social Security” cut-off No matter how old you are, it’s never too late to find love. That’s the message behind “Social Security,” the latest offering from Lincoln City’s Theatre West. But, as the play enters its final weekend, theater fans should bear in mind that it can sometimes be too late to find tickets. The Andrew Bergman comedy opens with Manhattan art gallery owners Barbara and David Kahn, whose trendy bigcity existence is turned on its head by the arrival of Barbara’s goody-goody sister, Trudy, and her uptight CPA husband, Martin, who are there to try to save their college student daughter from a sexually adventurous lifestyle. To make things even more complicated, Trudy has brought the sisters’ eccentric mother, Sophie, along for the ride. When Barbara and David introduce Sophie to their suave 90-something artist friend, Maurice, an offer to paint her portrait soon

begins to brighten her life in ways she never expected. Director Bryan Kirsch said the play contains adult material and is not suitable for children. The play stars Tami Keller as Barbara, Debbie Gerber as Trudy, Ren Jacob as Martin, Wes Ryan as Maurice and Elizabeth Black as Sophie. Kirsch and Steve Griﬃths share the role of David. The play’s run will conclude with 8 pm

performances on Thursday, March 26, Friday, March 27, and Saturday, March 28. Doors open half an hour before curtain and the theater is located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101. Tickets are $14 for adults or $12 for seniors and students. Reservations are recommended for all performances. Call 541-9945663, leave a message and someone will call you back.

Liven up your weekend with “Dead Ringer” A twisted tale of love and betrayal in the Wild West will play out in Tillamook this weekend as “Dead Ringer” continues its run at the Barn Community Playhouse. The dark comedy centers around Tyrus Cole, a horse trainer who lives on a ranch with his invalid sister, Mary, whom he conﬁnes to a root cellar during the day while he goes out to work. When Dwight Foley arrives at the ranch seeking help with his horse, he and Mary fall in love and begin plotting how to kill Tyrus and make their escape.

Their plan escalates and in the end, the three ﬁnd themselves trapped in a complex web of greed and secrets. Written by Gino DiIorio, the play was a winner in the 2005 BBC International Playwriting Contest.The production is intended for mature audiences only. The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts production is directed by Robert Buckingham and stars Robert Kratz as Tyrus, Rikki Reid as Mary and John Davy as Dwight. The abstract Wild West setting is brought to life in a set

built by Buckingham, Richard Coon and Diane Kreider. The play will run through Saturday, April 4, with performances at 7 pm every Friday and Saturday as well as 2 pm matinées on Sundays. Doors open 30 minutes prior to curtain. Tickets, $15 for adults and $10 for seniors or students, are available by calling Diamond Art Jewelers at 503-842-7940. The Barn Community Playhouse is located at 12th and Ivy in Tillamook. For more information, go to www.tillamooktheater.com.

Orchestra is Russian to a conclusion

The Newport Symphony Orchestra will conclude its regular season with a pair of concerts featuring piano concerto performances from visiting virtuoso Alexander Tutunov on Friday and Saturday, March 28 and 29. One of the finest pianists to emerge from the former Soviet Union, Tutunov trained at the Moscow Conservatory and received a doctoral degree in concert performance from the Belarusian State Conservatory. His “exhilarating and inspired” performance style won him ﬁrst prizes at Russian and Belarusian national piano competitions. He maintains a busy touring schedule in Europe, China, Mexico and the United States as a recitalist and soloist with orchestras. Tutunov now makes his home in Ashland, where he teaches piano and is honored as artist-in-residence at Southern Oregon University. His performances with various ensembles across the region have earned him an enthusiastic following in his

the opening movement and ends in an irresistible burst of high spirits. The Saturday, March 28, evening show will begin at 7:30 pm, with an informal pre-concert talk by maestro Adam Flatt at 6:45 pm. The Sunday, March 29, matinée will begin at 2 pm. Both performances will take place at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W Olive Street. Tickets, $34 and $20 or $10 for students, are available from the box oﬃce, by calling 541265-ARTS or online at NewportSymphony.org.

Alexander Tutunov

adopted home state. On Saturday and Sunday, Tutunov will bring his unique and exciting talent to Rachmaninoﬀ ’s Piano concerto No. 2. Having been featured in several popular movies, this piece

has become one of the most well-known and beloved of all piano concertos. The performances follow closely on the heels of the orchestra’s recent highly successful performances of Rachmaninoﬀ ’s Symphony

No. 2. Those concerts, conducted and narrated by David Ogden Stiers, set a new orchestra attendance record for a single weekend, with near capacity crowds on consecutive days. The program will begin

with a Symphony No. 6 by fellow Russian Dmitri Shostakovich, widely recognized as one of the ﬁnest composers of the 20th Century. His sixth symphony is dominated by a long, romantic melody in

• The Newport Symphony Orchestra will return on July 3 for its SummerFest concert series, beginning with a performance alongside the band 3 Leg Torso, continuing with its annual free Fourth of July concert for the whole family, and concluding on July 5 when the orchestra will be joined by All Classical Radio’s Edmund Stone for an afternoon program of NSO At The Movies.

The Wolfgang’s all here When members of the Amadeus Trio take to the stage at the Sunday, March 29, Neskowin Chamber Music concert, they will bring with them 22 years of performing together as one of the most sought-after ensembles in the country. Pianist Hiroko Sasaki, violinist Timothy Baker and cellist David Teie made their Lincoln Center debut in the spring of 1992. As a result of this one concert, they were immediately invited to perform all over the country, from San Francisco’s Herbst Theater to the Ambassador Auditorium in Los Angeles to New York’s Carnegie Hall. Sasaki left Japan at 13 to attend the

Yehudi Menuhin School in England. At 16, she entered the Curtis Institute where she studied with Leon Fleisher. She later earned a Master of Music degree from the Peabody Conservatory and an Artist Diploma from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. She has gone on to forge a successful career as a recitalist, chamber musician and concerto soloist. Baker began his musical studies as a scholarship student at the Julliard School. His solo career includes performances with the Moscow Symphony, the National Symphony, the Baltimore Symphony and the

Boston Pops. Teie comes from a family of three generations of musicians. He received bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the Peabody Conservatory and later studied in London on a Fulbright Scholarship. He joined the National Symphony in 1984, eventually playing 15 concerto performances with that orchestra. Sunday’s concert will begin at 3 pm in the chapel at Camp Winema, located three miles north of Neskwin, just oﬀ Highway 101. Tickets are $25.

Walk the talk at the Art Shoe Show Being named ‘Best of Show’ is good for the ego, but winning ‘Best of Shoe’ — that’s good for the sole. The Oregon Coast Council for the Arts is offering the chance for such glory to students, fashionistas and plain old shoe lovers from throughout Lincoln County as it appeals for entries to “Kick Up Your Heels: An Art Shoe Show.” The exhibit will run throughout May in the Runyan Gallery at the Newport Visual Arts Center. Various “Best of Shoe Awards” will be presented during the opening gala and throughout the exhibit’s run. All proceeds from the “Kick Up Your Heels” event will support OCCA’s arts programming and participating artists will receive free tickets to the opening gala. Toledo artist Sarah Gayle Plourde will facilitate a free art-shoe workshop on Saturday, April 4, from 10 am to 2 pm at the visual arts center, giving people the chance to share ideas, see art shoes in development, pick up or drop off starter shoes and create their personalized art shoes. “Kick Up Your Heels is a chance for local artists, students and creatives to make something fanciful from their imagination and participate in a professional gallery show with OCCA,” Plourde said. “Every part of our community benefits from having creative venues and organizations like OCCA, and this art-

Planting the seed Dates to put a ring around For decades, gardeners have struggled when starting clematis from seed, with a germination period of anywhere from 10 days to three years leaving the door open to all kinds of misfortune. But on Saturday, March 28, clematis expert Linda Beutler will share a new, easy method for growing the popular flower in a presentation at the Connie Hansen Garden in Lincoln City. “A few variables are necessary to accommodate such a far flung and wide ranging genus,” she said, “but reducing the wait from three years to three months for the most stubborn species is a Godsend!” Beutler will demonstrate the tips and tricks of this new seed-starting method, and will be giving out baggies of seeds to help coastal gardeners start their own clematis collections. She will also bring a selection of clematis appropriate to the coastal climate for sale, with proceeds benefiting the Friends of the Rogerson Clematis Collection.

Registration is now open for the Arbor Week Celebration taking place at the Tillamook Forest Center on Saturday and Sunday, April 11 and 12. The event will give guests the chance to create tree arts and crafts and try their luck at

a tree scavenger hunt. People can also step into the shoes of citizens who helped plant the Tillamook Burn and created the Tillamook State Forest by helping out with tree plantings at 11:30 am and 2:30 pm each day. Meanwhile, guided tree

walks will be oﬀered at 10:30 am and 12:30 pm each day. Registration is required for organized groups and groups of more than 10 people, with a deadline of Wednesday, April 8. To register, go to www. tillamookforestcenter.org.
